Motown book is gone (awaiting payment!)

Don’t worry Andy, one will turn up when you’ve got some cash I’m sure. They’re really nicely made guitars. I’ve been very surprised, and pleased with it. I could never justify the expense of Gibson, but this gets me as close as I needed. Sad to see it go, but hope someone will love it.

It pains me to do this but I’m a Strat player at heart and this is doing very little at home on its own. Its an immaculate condition B.B. King Lucille model. Made in Korea, it’s a lovely instrument. I bought this as a jazz guitar and it excels at that. The action is good, and the sounds you can make exquisite. The bridge is a much more solid contraption than the type you’d normally find on an Epiphone dot. It’s got the lovely inlays and there’s enough gold on this to satisfy B.B. King or Kanye West. The Grover timers are solid and all in all this is a beauty. Condition wise it’s lovey. It’s been played very little by me and always treated with care. There is some minor pitting / discolouration on the 6-way selector and a few minor marks on the pickups too. There are no marks to the glossy black finish. Im selling as I have a few strats and a PRS and this guitar always seems a target for my aggressive daughter. I’ve stopped her (so far), but it’s always a struggle! These set necks are notoriously fragile so it’s collection only. I have a Kingsman case that fits but you need to support the neck so it’s not really suitable for shipping. Price is £375. Always interested in trades.

I’m getting rid of my full pro Jazz Bass flight case. This was owned by Dave Markee, an absolute legend of a man and a wonderful bass player. I bought a 70s Jazz from him 15 years ago. Bass is long gone but I kept the case for when I was gigging all over Europe. It was built by Rainbow Cases in London who, judging by this one, were/are pretty bloody good. This weighs about the same size as a small car and there’s no way any courier would take it, so it’s collection only from Bristol. If I were keeping it I’d possibly refresh the foam, but obviously you can do what you want with it. Dave has left his inimitable mark on this, which you can see in the pictures.
